"Blue Spirit Fire," someone whispered from the crowd. "I thought it was just a legend."
I maintained the flame steadily, letting it grow slightly larger before I closed my fist and extinguished it. The afterimage lingered in the air for a moment, like a ghostly reminder of what they'd witnessed.
Elder Leung cleared his throat, composing himself. "As you can see, Master Knight's qualifications are beyond question. The Blue Spirit Fire hasn't been seen in the Guild for over a century."
Sofia's lips pressed into a thin line. Her hands trembled slightly as she bowed her head. "I... apologize for my outburst, Elder Leung. And to you, Master Knight."
